I am working on crocheting things for myself, as I usually make my crafts for someone else. I thought it would be cuter and silly to work on a crochet opossum. I didn&#8217;t follow a pattern for this one, I have just been free handing him as I go. I am stuffing him with fluff from an old pillow that I don&#8217;t wan to use anymore. I think that when it is finished it will be super cute. I will upload the results next week! <br><br>I started off this little guy with ch 4 (starting at the nose) , joining with sl st to make a ring. I then crocheted 6 sc and then kind of just kept increasing whenever I felt like he needed to get larger around. When I got to the spot where his tail will begin, I started to decrease my stitches until I get a decently opossum tail sized hole. I then front loop crocheted once around, and then went back to single crocheting the rest of his tail. I stopped when I felt it was long enough. I stuffed him so much he&#8217;s extremely stiff. Stay tuned for the rest of his transformation this upcoming Friday! I have been working on some really cool fibers projects that I am super excited to show everyone when they are finished. <br><br>See you next week!! <br>Marissa <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4939-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4939-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4939-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4939-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4939-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4939-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
